The Power of Process: Workflow, BPM, and Healthcare
Aaron:
At this time, I’d like to introduce today’s featured presenter, Dr. Charles Webster. Charles, or Chuck as he’s often called, is a prolific thought leader in the health IT community. He was listed as one of the top ten HIT bloggers to follow on Twitter by Healthcare IT News and was a top influencer in social media at this year’s HIM’s Conference. You can follow him on Twitter at @ehrworkflow (http://twitter.com/EHRworkflow wareFLO), or you can read his blog at http://chuckwebster.com.
With degrees in accountancy, industrial engineering, confrontational linguistics, artificial intelligence and medicine, Dr. Webster has unique insights into how healthcare can be improved.
He’s noted for designing the first undergraduate program in Medical Informatics and for writing the first three award-winning case studies submitted for the HIM’s Davies Award for EHR Ambulatory Excellence.
Chuck is a strong proponent for BPM and Workflow Solutions and today, he’ll be sharing his insights about those technologies and how they could be used in a healthcare environment. Chuck, at this time, I would like to turn the presentation over to you.
Chuck:
Thank you. I see my slide. Excellent. Well, thank you for that introduction. Are you hearing at that end and I presume out there as well?
Aaron: That sounds great.
Chuck:
Great. Good introduction and thank you to everybody who’s attending this session called, “The Power of Process: Workflow Automation, Business Process Management and Healthcare.”
